Trivia: When they do the handbrake turn at the very end of the film, we see the gear stick for a fraction of a second. Freeze-frame it and you'll see it has the initials "HF" on it.

Dad - S3-E10

Trivia: Holtz is watching two people fight in a graveyard - the graveyard's blatantly the same one as used in Buffy. Doesn't really qualify as a mistake, because arguably many graveyards look alike, but fans of both series will be able to recognise it.

Trivia: This is for the trailer rather than for the final film, but worth a look. At 1:33 in the trailer, just after seeing Rorschach slam someone against a wall, we see another fight. Pause it and look at the guy in black - he's holding a walkie-talkie, which in the next shot becomes a gun. This is only trivia, not a mistake, because it's only valid for the trailer. The MPAA don't allow guns to be pointed at the screen in trailers, so Zack Snyder, in a tribute to the infamous gun-editing from E.T., replaced the gun in that one shot with a walkie-talkie.

Trivia: When Michelle Pfeiffer's confronted by Christopher Walken in his office (while she's sat down), the shadow cast around her eyes by her glasses resembles the angled Catwoman mask.

Trivia: A Wilhelm scream can be heard during the beach volleyball/fighting scene - a henchman is thrown off a balcony and emits one as he falls.

Trivia: The internal shots of the hotel in Venice Bond is staying in were filmed in the National Museum in Prague. The patterned floor is very recognisable to anyone who's been there.

Season 1 generally

Trivia: In episode 18, "Parasite", Hiro finds the sword listed on the computer with the ID "CRM-114". This tag crops up in many Stanley Kubrick films, including A Clockwork Orange (as "serum 114") starring Malcolm McDowell, who also features in this episode.

Trivia: During the initial attack by the circus gang, you can hear a snatch of "Making Christmas", which is a piece of music from Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas", also scored by Danny Elfman.

Trivia: When Gromit's waiting for Wallace to retrieve the giant fake rabbit from where it hit the tunnel wall, we see a fruit and veg shop called "Harvey's". A reference to a classic Jimmy Stewart film from 1950 called "Harvey", where he plays a man who has an invisible 6 foot tall rabbit for a friend.

Trivia: The bottle of lighter fluid Withnail drinks had been filled with water throughout rehearsals, but for the actual take was filled with vinegar, unbeknownst to Richard E. Grant, who plays Withnail. The director made the switch to get a good reaction from him.

Trivia: At the very start of the credits, just after "Metro Goldwyn Mayer" disappears, Karen Allen walks across screen, in her very first film role.

Not Fade Away - S5-E22

Trivia: The famous "Wilhelm scream" makes an appearance - the first demon Lindsey cuts up cries it out.

Jon Sandys ★

Trivia: Because everything was shot against a green screen, some bits of colour proved difficult. Yellow Bastard especially was hard, as yellow bleeds into the green screen and can't be separated cleanly. To get around this, Robert Rodriguez painted him blue, then turned him yellow in post production.
